MAGIC SHADOW SHOW
MAGIC SHADOW SHOW
by
Matt McGinn
In and out, above, below
Phantom figures come and go
Just a magic shadow show
Come love, watch with me
It may be sad, it may be fun
The leaves of life fall one by one
The wine of life too soon is done
In this magic shadow show
A loaf of bread and you and me
A jug of wine beneath the tree
We will sit and we will see
A magic shadow show
In and out, above, below
Phantom figures come and go
Just a magic shadow show
Come love, watch with me
A thousand blossoms of today
Will soon be scattered into clay
Today becomes a yesterday
Magic shadow show
Leave tomorrow and yesterday
With old Khayyam come sip today
Listen to my Rubaiyat
Magic shadow show
In and out, above, below
Phantom figures come and go
Just a magic shadow show
Come love, watch with me
Could you and I with fate conspire?
Remould this scheme of things entire?
Nearer to the heart’s desire?
What a magic shadow show
In and out, above, below
Phantom figures come and go
Just a magic shadow show
Come love, watch with me
Come love, watch with me
